'Frozen Planet'
BBC

Three discs include the complete BBC/Discovery Channel series, part of a group that has included "Planet Earth" and "The Blue Planet: Seas of Life." "Frozen Planet," still airing in the U.S. on Discovery, explores the Arctic and Antarctic, from caterpillars that freeze solid in winter to beluga whales that shed skin with the help of Canadian rocks. Here, David Attenborough narrates; Alec Baldwin does the Discovery version.

'Treme: The Complete Second Season'
HBO

As co-creator David Simon ("The Wire") says, there are a lot of shows about cops, lawyers and doctors, but not about culture; HBO's "Treme" tries to fill that void as far as New Orleans is concerned. Season two is set a bit over a year after Hurricane Katrina. Toni (Melissa Leo) is struggling to raise her teenager, while violinist Annie (Lucia Micarelli) has been finding her way as a musician and has a budding romance with DJ Davis McAlary (Steve Zahn). DVD extras profile New Orleans food, music, and Mardi Gras Indians.
